Trusted Plumbing and Heating works alongside other plumbing companies in and provides directional drilling services in Auburn. Directional drilling is when non-vertical bores are drilled. The term is a general one, describing drilling that is not done vertically. Related terms include directional boring and horizontal drilling. Oftentimes, there are obstacles underground that plumbers need to avoid, such as pre-existing lines in order to reach a desired destination. This is where this method comes in very practical. This method is minimally invasive and prevents the need to invade the surrounding area.  

This method makes cuts on how much needs to be dug up in order to repair or install a line. Oftentimes, plumbing companies don’t focus on this method or don’t have much experience, so Trusted Plumbing and Heating provides directional drilling services to these kinds of companies.  

Directional Boring Auburn 

This method has a particular process in how it works. First, a technician needs to collect information on the current existing structures underground in the Auburn site, and a route is planned. Afterwards, a boring machine is used to drill a horizontal hole until the desired destination is reached. Oftentimes, the whole is expanded to make room for a new line by attaching a reamer and pulling back to clear the soil. Afterwards, the new line is pulled through the newly drilled tunnel. The benefits include it being a trenchless method of sewer repair and installations. This means avoiding damage to buildings, hardscaping, and landscaping. It also means significant cost savings compared to conventional sewer installation methods. The project process time is greatly reduced so that the completion time is expedited. Last, it is relatively safer for the environment.  

Drilling Horizontal Auburn 

While directional boring usually refers to longer bores to reach longer destinations (I.e. thousands of feet down), horizontal drilling implies shorter distances for simpler projects. Horizontal drilling provides significant environmental benefits compared with conventional drilling by reducing the amount of excavation needed to install a line or reach and repair a pre-existing line. It allows operators to avoid obstacles such as utilities or large rocks or tree roots. With these benefits, an operator is able to speed up the time it takes to complete the project and significantly save on the cost as well.
